From the ashes of Illusion Suite....Withem

What the hell happened to ILLUSION SUITE?

From their website http://www.illusionsuite.net

Unfortunately, Øyvind Larsen and Ketil Ronold has decided to leave Illusion Suite. We want to thank them for all the good times we had while playing in the band together and we wish them good luck with future projects.

And to all our friends and fans : The recording of our second album continues as planned!

And from their Facebook page:

New announcement : We proudly present a new guitar player to play on our new and upcoming album, Kim Jacobsen ("It's the end", "Hurt someone handsome")
Stay tuned and look up for a powerful and promising upcoming album mid-2012.
We wish you all a blasting weekend!! Best wishes from Illusion Suite!
 
Not as good as Illusion Suite in my book, but still definitely worth a buy. If we get both now, and Illusion Suite remains as good as they were, then I call it a plus.
